Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, point mutations in the Perforin gene on chromosome 10q21 have been described to be the cause of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in a subset of patients. Small deletions, missense, or nonsense mutations were found in both coding exons of the gene. One mutation was found apparently independently in different families of Turkish origin. This Trp374stop mutation is located within a...
